Ashton Kutcher Biography

Born in Cedar Rapids, IA, along with a fraternal twin named Michael, Ashton Kutcher is a former model who caught the acting bug in high school.

Kutcher caught his first big break at the age of 20 when he landed the role of Michael Kelso on the television sitcom “That '70s Show,” which aired for eight seasons from 1998-2006. While still working on the Fox series, Kutcher began to focus on his motion picture career, appearing in such films as “Reindeer Games,” in which he starred alongside Ben Affleck, as well as the surprising cult favorite, “Dude, Where's My Car?”

Kutcher’s fame would skyrocket in 2003 thanks to his MTV prank show “Punk'd,” in addition to his high-profile romance with the much-older Demi Moore. Two years later, his producing abilities were again displayed with the launch of the WB reality series “Beauty and the Geek,” which was an immediate hit.

Behind his production company, Katalyst Films, Kutcher is considered to be one of the top producers in Hollywood today.
